As of August of 2010 Saddle Up will be offering demo's for ONLY our NEW Summit Endurance Trail Saddles, Both the Orgional Tree version and the Gen II versions will be available in 15.5", 16.5" and 17.5" seats sizes in medium or Wide tree, plus Xtra Wide in the 16.5" Orgional tree.  Sorry but we were just not getting enough requests for the other saddles to continue the demo program for the other Tucker Saddles. 
 

Here is How Our Demo Program Works:

  
A demo deposit of $1500 plus $90 shipping and handling (covers the cost of shipping  & handling both ways) will be due prior to shipping the demo to you.  You may use a credit card, paypal, or check for this deposit and shipping charge.   You will have 10 days from the time your receive the saddle to ride the saddle (we do NOT include shipping time in the 10 day trial period).  If you need extra time beyond your initial 10 days, you will automatically be charged $5.00 per day.   You will receive a UPS tracking number via email when the saddle ships out to you. 

A Prepaid UPS return label will be enclosed for the return of the Demo Saddle.  Just pack it back up in the box we shipped it to you in and drop it off at your Local UPS pickup location or call 800-PICK UPS (800-742-5877) to schedule a pickup ( An additional $10 fee from UPS for pickup service will be charged). 

IF you decide to buy a Tucker Saddle based on your experience with your demo -  The order for your new Tucker saddle must be made PRIOR to the return of your demo saddle.    Your demo deposit  will be used as a deposit on your new saddle and you will recieve up to a $90 shipping credit towards the purchase of tack to go with your saddle or saddle upgrades.  Your shipping credit can be used for anything you like... bridle, breast collar, reins, saddle pad ... suede seat, long fender, stirrup upgrades or any combination to use up your credit... you name it!  (Credit is in place of any other ongoing specials or  offers - sorry I can't do both!)  

If you have determined that a Tucker won't fill your needs, we will refund the saddle deposit  less a $60 demo service fee immediatley upon recieving your demo package back here in the store.   Shipping charges are not refundable.

Its as simple as that!  Give us a call at 636-828-4273.

Be sure to read my information about fitting a Tucker Saddle in the Buyers Guide  in the main menu. It may answer many of your questions.  Wither tracings are always welcome and I'll be glad to go over your fitting issues and advise you as to which Tucker saddle will be the best choice for you and your horse.   

The demo saddle we send may be used or it may be new, but these saddles were purchased specifically for the purpose of giving our customers a chance to RIDE a Tucker Saddle.  So when you recieve it, please feel free to take it on some trail rides and put it through the normal riding conditions you would encounter.  (Except rain and fording your local river of course.) We will include a properly fitting saddle pad and appropriate girth size in the package so that you have everything you need for your test ride.    (We are in St. Louis, Missouri.  See map below to determine shipping time to your area of the country)  I cannot qaurantee a demo saddle for a specific date, first come first served.  We do our best to keep wait time for a demo short, but sometimes there may be a wait for the demo you would like to try. 
ITS THAT SIMPLE!
